Levi Lusko knows what it's like to spiral, and he knows how disorienting transition and change can be to a person - emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. After a mid-life crisis that started a cycle of questioning his purpose, peace, and future, Levi realized that he was actually in a perfect position for God to lead him into greater faith. In this episode, we laugh, we go deep, and we unpack Scripture to help us biblically deal with anxiety, pause in Jesus' presence when life is chaotic, handle transitions and seasons you don't want to be in, and so much more. (We even talk about Disney Pixar's "Cars", so you're in for a treat.)You need a copy of Blessed Are The Spiraling!

It starts with grace, and ends with grace. Amen? I've been dying to get Hunter Beless on the podcast and today's the day.

How can we stop letting clutter, clamor, and things steal our joy?

I'm in SHOCK that it's been three years since my book baby, "Surrender Your Story" launched into the world. Today, I'm sitting down behind the mic and sharing candidly and honestly about where I've struggled with surrender, but also where I've found victory in surrender.

After bonding over coffee as speakers at She Speaks 2024, I knew I had to have Dr. Joel Muddamalle on the podcast! Not only is he an incredible writer, bible teacher, and speaker, but he's a gentle and loving friend and you'll hear that in today's episode. We're talking all about humility, and how often our greatest thorns teach us the greatest things about God. Joel boldly claims that humility is the answer to decreasing our anxiety and fear and helps us figure out if we're actually living in a state of peace in this moment or not. I loved getting to learn from him about pride, self-reliance, and instead, what Jesus' yoke really means.Grab a copy of The Hidden Peace.--OUR SPONSORS:Go to https://www.thrivemarket.com/truthtalks for 30% off your first order, plus a FREE $60 gift!Get 25% off your first month of Ritual for a limited time at ritual.com/truthtalks.--Connect with Tara:Instagram / Her book / Her website / Her discount code page / YouTube / The free, email family / Sponsor a child through Compassion Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you ready to make moves for God and His kingdom, and yet you feel unqualified, uncertain, or unequipped for the task? Perhaps you feel uneducated or unsure about the timing or how God has gifted you. We get it. Good friend, Cassandra Speer, is back on the podcast to talk about how we are ready as we are, because God equips us. We don't hold back - gracefully bringing a conversation about women in ministry, how to fight the cultural lies against women today, pride versus purpose, and some incredible women from the Bible who show us what it looks like to stay yielded to God and still be bold for his kingdom.Grab a copy of Ready As You Are.--OUR SPONSORS:Go to https://www.thrivemarket.com/truthtalks for 30% off your first order, plus a FREE $60 gift!Get 25% off your first month of Ritual for a limited time at ritual.com/truthtalks.--Connect with Tara:Instagram / Her book / Her website / Her discount code page / YouTube / The free, email family / Sponsor a child through Compassion Learn more about your ad choices.
